SharePoint Lists
Upon adding the Social Squared Client Side web part to a SharePoint page, or a Microsoft Teams Tab, 11 lists will be provisioned within the site which inherit permissions from the site containing the Social Squared web part instance. These lists include the configuration and content within the Social Squared instance. The lists include:

• SS_Badges – Contains the badges awarded to each user for their participation in the forum
• SS_ForumAlerts – Contains the subscriptions against forums
• SS_Likes – Keeps track of the number of posts liked
• SS_Posts – Contains the content from posts and replies to posts. Attachments to posts are attached to list items
• SS_Ratings – Stores the ratings against each post
• SS_TagCloud – Stores tags associated with each post
• SS_TopicAlerts Contains the subscriptions against topics
• SS_Topics contains topic information
• SS_Votes Keeps track of votes against each post.

Permissions can be set on each list if required.
